What is NHD?
National History Day (NHD) is a highly regarded academic program for elementary and secondary school students. Students choose historical topics related to a theme and conduct extensive primary and secondary research through libraries, archives, museums, oral history interviews and historic sites. After analyzing and interpreting their sources and drawing conclusions about their topics’ significance in history, students present their work in original papers, websites, exhibits, performances and documentaries. These products are entered into competitions in the spring at local, state and national levels where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators. In addition to discovering the exciting world of the past, NHD also helps students develop the following attributes that are critical for future success:
critical thinking and problem-solving skills
research and reading skills
oral and written communication and presentation skills
self esteem and confidence
a sense of responsibility for and involvement in the democratic process

*PLEASE NOTE* students have the option to work in groups or as individuals and make that choice themselves. I DON'T MAKE IT FOR THEM, I MAKE SUGGESTIONS. Please view the "Who Do I Sail With" Powerpoint and student paperwork.
This Powerpoint will explain what is needed and in what format students need to follow for their annotated bibliography. An easy way to do this, is go to citation machine
This will show a break down of a thesis statement, and what needs to be included in one.
How students will be judged: Students will be judged/evaluated on three parts. Historical quality, looking at both research and analysis. Clarity of presentation, meaning not just flashiness; but correct spelling, grammar, and organization. Relation to the theme, are students able to show that their topic relates to the theme and is significant to history.
